She was born in Central California 
Just as sweet as the fruit on her daddy's farm
And my best friend said man I gotta warn
She's a city girl with a little country charm

We all met up out in San Jose 
With the top down we headed for the bay
And with her hair blowing in the breeze 
She leaned and whispered, "My name is Tiffany"

But I called her Bakersfield and it would always make her smile
Don't know where she is today but she was mine for awhile
Every time I drive through the California hills 
I find my mind is on Bakersfield

A couple sunsets and mimosa mornings 
I got more than my share of kisses on the beach
'Til Sunday found us too early without warning
And she was once in my arms and now she's outta reach

Oh I called her Bakersfield and it would always make her smile
Don't know where she is today but she was mine for awhile
Every time I drive through the California hills 
I find my mind is on Bakersfield

Yeah, every time I drive through the California hills 
I find my mind is on Bakersfield
Mmm..Bakersfield
